If you&#8217;re planning your route, <a href=\"https:\/\/chile.travel\/en\/global-search\/?type=itinerarios\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check these itineraries for traveling through Chile<\/a> and organize a more efficient trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/chile.travel\/en\/blog\/pack-your-bags-all-you-need-to-know-for-your-trip-to-chile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pack your bags! Everything you need to know for traveling to Chile <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What luggage to bring based on your Chile itinerary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Backpack or Carry-on Bag<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re planning a 2- to 5-day getaway focused on a single city, this format can be a good alternative. A compact travel backpack, <strong>that complies with your airline&#8217;s permitted dimensions and weight<\/strong>, will give you greater freedom of movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ideal Destinations and Itineraries:<\/strong> Urban tours of Santiago, getaways to the beaches of Valpara\u00edso and Vi\u00f1a del Mar, or days of disconnection in the Elqui Valley.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Main Advantages:<\/strong> Allows you to move easily on public transport, avoid waiting at the baggage carousel, and save money by avoiding checked luggage fees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What to Pack:<\/strong> Light clothing, a windbreaker jacket, comfortable urban footwear, and your essential personal items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Cabin Suitcase<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your trip lasts between <strong>5 and 8 days<\/strong> and combines two destinations without requiring high-mountain clothing or technical equipment, a hard-shell or soft-sided suitcase with wheels will allow you to carry more clothes and maintain comfort during transfers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ideal Destinations and Itineraries:<\/strong> City and coast combinations like Santiago with Valpara\u00edso, or summer routes through San Pedro de Atacama, La Serena, or Valdivia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Main Advantages:<\/strong> You get more space to organize different garments for various occasions, maintaining a format that is easy to transport between hotels and taxis without needing to check it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What to Pack:<\/strong> Several changes of clothes, spare footwear, a mid-weight coat for cool northern or central nights, and toiletries in cabin-approved containers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Checked Luggage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re planning a journey of <strong>more than a week<\/strong>, traveling through regions with extreme temperature contrasts, or engaging in outdoor sports, it&#8217;s best to check a <strong>large suitcase<\/strong> and complement it with a smaller <strong>travel backpack<\/strong> for daily use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, if you&#8217;re traveling with <strong>oversized sports equipment<\/strong>, such as surfboards or bicycles, check the airline&#8217;s specific conditions for transporting them, as they may be subject to special fees and requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ideal Destinations and Itineraries:<\/strong> Trips through Patagonia (like the <a href=\"https:\/\/chile.travel\/en\/itineraries\/torres-del-paine-w-trek-the-definitive-guide\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/chile.travel\/itinerarios\/circuito-w-de-torres-del-paine-la-guia-definitiva\/\">W Circuit<\/a> in Torres del Paine), road trips along the Carretera Austral, or long itineraries connecting the Atacama Desert with the southern zone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Main Advantages:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll have enough capacity to carry thick parkas, <em>trekking<\/em> boots, and technical clothing. The small backpack will serve to carry your documents, water, and additional warm layers during daily excursions. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember that the weather in southern Chile <strong>can change drastically<\/strong> in a single day, so wearing clothes that you can layer will be essential for your comfort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What luggage do airlines flying in Chile include? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Included baggage depends on the airline and the fare you purchase. On the most basic fares, some airlines include a <strong>personal item<\/strong> that must meet certain dimensions and must be placed <strong>under the seat in front of you<\/strong>. Carry-on luggage and checked baggage may incur an additional cost.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The permitted weight and dimensions for carry-on and checked luggage vary by airline and ticket type. Generally, permitted carry-on luggage can be up to <strong>10 or 12 kg<\/strong>, depending on the airline and ticket type, while checked luggage usually has a limit of up to <strong>23 kg<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re flying with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latamairlines.com\/cl\/es\/experiencia\/prepara-tu-viaje\/equipaje\">LATAM<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsmart.com\/cl\/es\/opcionales\">JetSMART<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/cda.skyairline.com\/es\/chile\/servicios\/centro-de-ayuda\/category\/37\">SKY Airline<\/a>, check what exactly your fare includes before purchasing your ticket, as permitted weights, dimensions, and prices may vary depending on the route and flight type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do if you need to store your luggage?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/chile.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aac1a572-1mochila-de-viaje-equipaje-chile-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Santiago Airport.\" class=\"wp-image-100549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chile.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aac1a572-1mochila-de-viaje-equipaje-chile-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chile.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aac1a572-1mochila-de-viaje-equipaje-chile-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chile.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aac1a572-1mochila-de-viaje-equipaje-chile-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chile.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aac1a572-1mochila-de-viaje-equipaje-chile-1536x806.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chile.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aac1a572-1mochila-de-viaje-equipaje-chile.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=1436182428554122&amp;set=pb.100064871340694.-2207520000&amp;type=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arturo Merino Ben\u00edtez Airport, Santiago<\/a><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a layover of several hours or want to <a href=\"https:\/\/chile.travel\/en\/itineraries\/2-day-itinerary-in-santiago-what-to-see-and-do\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/chile.travel\/itinerarios\/centro-historico-itinerario\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explore Santiago before continuing your trip<\/a>, you can use the <strong>luggage storage<\/strong> service, located in the <strong>International Terminal (T2)<\/strong> of Santiago Airport.

We recommend checking the current prices directly at the service counter or on the airport&#8217;s official website before your trip, as they may change.
